E14 MAPS 39 Kees van der Laan have fought much more strongly with Knuth for him to create amore usablelanguage.’ Fair enough!Especially easierlanguages. But... I don’t see what is against Knuth’s attitude. Just a dierentapproach. Remember... There Is More Than OneWay To Do It. I appreciate the features of high-level structured programming, with no, well... little, but well-dened sideeects,like forexampleexception handlers. But... when I learned Algol68 at the time, I was much surprised, because it seemed to me one big side eect. For me Knuth 12 knows what he is talking about, and he like nobody else, produced marvelous errorless tools, so SuPerBe documented SuperuPleasanttoreaderBeyondthoroughnesse TEX&MetaFont Thirty years ago the twin TEX&MF was born. TEX is aimed at typesetting beautiful Math by computer. MF was developed for providing the needed (Computer Modernbitmap)fonts. Knuthwasapparentlysoconvincedofthecorrectness ofhisprogramsthathewouldrewardeveryreportedbug in TEX with a check of 1$, to start with, and he would double the reward each time an error was reported. We all know the exponential growth behavior of this. In the Errors of TEX, Software Prac&Exp 19,7 1989, 607–685, Knuthmentionsalltheerrorshecorrected,tobeginwith those foundwhiledebugging. TEX had the following limitations in its design, on purpose. No WYSIWYG No Color Poor Graphics No Pictures (inclusion) No CommunicatingSequential Processes 13 How to overcome? Thanksto\special,PS,PDF,thedriversandpdf(Any)TEX we have the following ways out, in order to compensate forwhatwe miss Script TEX −→ .dvi asdefault Script TEX −→ .dvi dvi2ps −→ .psforcolorandgraphics Script TEX −→ .dvi dvi2ps −→ .ps ps2pdf −→ .pdf or directly, the popular one-step Script pdf(Any)TEX −−−−−−−→ .pdf I favor the multi-step way, the 3 rd , which is in the UNIX tradition of cooperating ‘little’ languages, where processes are ‘piped’ in a chain, and which adheres to the Separations of Concerns adage. With respect to TEX&MetaPost we talk about well-designed and timeprovenprograms. I don’t believe that one person, or even a group, can write a monolithic successor of TEX, of the same quality as TEX and the time-proven cooperating little languages like dvi(2)ps, MetaPost,Acrobatandilks. In the direct use of pdfeTEX I stumbled upon..., well... undocumented features? Drawbacks of TEX It is interesting to read chapter 6 of the TEXbook again about running TEX. History! Is it? Still reality for plain TEXies? Next to the limiting choices made in the design of TEX there are the followingdrawbacks TEX SLC 120+% Energy 14 S L C Afterso manyyears AnyTEX&Co lacksome sort of stability.

MetaPost,whichsoundslikeasuccessortoMetaFont, was intended for creating PS graphics to be included in TEX documents, and not for creating PS fonts, despite &mfplain,whichisnotenough.MetaFont’sbitmapfonts are outdated, because of the signicant memory it requiresandbecauseitisnotscalable.Thegapwaslledin 2001byBogusłavJackovskietal.byreleasingMetaType. Latin Modern is the PS successor of TEX’s native bitmap Computer Modern fonts. Work is underway for use of OpenType (Math) fonts inTEX. Literate programming Ilike to characterize literateprogramming by Aims at error-free anddocumented programs Humanlogic oriented, not imposed by computer Programming anddocumentation are donesimultaneously Relational insteadofhierarchical The computer science department of the Groningen University pays attention to program correctness issues, mainly for small programs, heavily biased by the loop invariancetechniquesofthe70-ies.Noreal-lifeapproach suited for large programs like Knuth’s literate programming approach,by whichTEX wasimplemented.

The IDE TEXnicCenter allowed me to open projects and processeither L ATEX → .dvi, or L ATEX → .pdf, or L ATEX → .ps → .pdf TheCenterdoesnotprovidebuttonsforprocessingplain TEX with a format le of your own, at least that is not clear to me. I had to fool the system: opened a template, threw all that I did not need away and processed my minimal plainTEX job asL ATEX! Clumsy! Did I overlook something? The possibility to adapt TEXnicCenter was on my mind for a couple of days. At last, I undauntedly dened an output profile and selected pdfeTeX.exe. Indeed, glory, my Hello World!\bye job worked, only the viewer Acrobat did not open automatically with the result le. The resulting .pdf le was stored in the same directory as the source le, so I could view it nonetheless. Not perfect as yet, because I would like to have the result opened in Acrobat automatically. Nevertheless, encouraging. I was surprised that \magnification did not work in pdfeTEX. I also stumbled upon that \blue dened as the appropriate \pdfliteral invoke, did not obey the scope rules. The editor in TEXnicCenter is too smart: \’e is changed into é, unless you insert a space. I reported this, no answer asyet. ThispaperasksamongotherstoincludeinTEXnicCenter also buttons for processing by Knuth’s plain.tex. It would not harm to include as example the minimal TEX job Hello world! \bye or the TEX classic story.tex, to demonstrate the work- ow TEX→ dvi, pdf(or ps).
